Sorry for being so out of touch for past 2 or so weeks. I had a baby boy on January 26th alhumdulillah. So, the update is my husband had sent further proof of our relationship to LVO and they received it on january 26th, on February 4th he got the passport request alhumdulillah.
Apparently it says in the email the way to send the passport to ISB has changed to have it more secure and speedy. They attached a 6 page pdf that has an updated Appendix A to be filled and sent. My husband and I are a bit confused about filling it out. If anyone who has helped me before can be of some assistance, or anyone else who has some time. It would be much appreciated. JazakAllah khair!
From the time of my absence if anyone got passport requests, remedical requests, passport returns; many many congratulations to you all! To those who are waiting I had made a special dua for everyone on this forum during my labour. May Allah swt make it easy on all the couples, ameen!
